Sometimes, it's the settings in life that are important: Where the stories take place. At our latest Home of the Week, the location is picture perfect — the ideal home, a spot for a future to unfold.

If you like the beach, this house has it all. Like any good beach house that offers incredibly close proximity to the water, the home is elevated a full storey above ground level. Viewing it upon arrival, it's evident already that the house will have a great view — you can tell as soon as you pull onto the seaside dirt road at the tip of Sconticut Neck where the neighborhood is located.

Up the steps of the house, you're led to a spacious wraparound deck that extends practically around the entire perimeter of the home. Marvelous views abound on all sides.

When entering the front door, the first space that greets you is a hallway that serves as a foyer for the home. Straight ahead are the kitchen and living room, and already from this spot you are given incredible views of the water.

The kitchen is spacious and includes plenty of cabinet and counter space. With more than enough room for a dining table, the eat-in kitchen also includes windows that face eastward, offering a beautiful vantage point to that looks on to the beach outside, and farther east to neighboring West Island.

The living room also faces to the east, and these two large rooms that are connected with an open floor plan add to the home's bright and airy atmosphere. The living room's many windows provide an unfettered look at the water outside, and they allow for the morning sun to bask nearly the entire house's living space in natural light.

The living room also includes impressive vaulted ceilings that add to a unique house shape that helps make the house seem as if it is more organic, one with its waterfront surroundings.

Off the main living area is a spacious master bedroom, which includes an en suite full bathroom. The bathroom also includes a door to the front hallway, offering main access to the bathroom. Across the hallway is a second full bathroom.

A second bedroom is located off the living area, and includes impressive views of the water from its window. One more spacious bedroom, with good storage space like the others, is located here as well.

From the living room, there is also access to the outdoors with a door that leads to the other side of the wraparound deck, this side facing the water. This is perhaps where the home's most clear and impressive views are, and it is situated to face east. At the temperate times of the year, it would be the home's best spot to have coffee and watch the sunset — for the next few months, you'll have to settle for watching it through the kitchen windows.

Outside, the yard stretches out and turns to beach. The shade below the house is another great spot to spend time outside, especially in the heat of summer. A salty ocean breeze will likely keep the yard bearable year-round.

"The beach," wrote Anne Morrow Lindbergh, "is not a place to work."

It is, conversely, the perfect place to relax. And this house is the ideal relaxation spot, whether it's year-round or just for the summer months.
